SIGPLAN'92 continues the series of broad-based language and compiler
design conferences. The conference will provide a forum for researchers
and developers to learn about current practical and experimental work
across the breadth of the field. The conference will emphasize
experimental results and experience with the languages and techniques
described.

The conference seeks original papers relevant to practical issues
concerning the design, development, implementation, and use of programming
languages (in contrast to the annual SIGACT/SIGPLAN POPL Conference, which
is oriented more toward foundations). The conference favors no particular
programming paradigm or support architecture. Conference topics include:

Authors should submit thirteen copies (preferably double-sided) of a
technical summary of a prospective paper to the program chair; persons
without access to a photocopier may submit a single copy. The first sheet
of the summary (not the cover letter) must include the phone number and
street and (if available) Internet addresses for the corresponding author.
Summaries must not exceed 5000 words (approximately 10 pages typeset
10-point on 16-point spacing, or 15 pages if typewritten double-spaced).
Excessively long summaries will be rejected immediately by the program
chair. Papers awaiting acceptance by any other conference are ineligible
for SIGPLAN'92; if a similar paper has been submitted else- where, the
authors must notify the program chair.

The summary must be organized so that it is easily understood. Clearly
identify what has been accomplished, why it is significant, and how it
compares with prior work. Papers will be judged on clarity, significance,
relevance, correct- ness, and originality. Authors should make their
papers understandable to a broad audience. The last paper in the June
1991 issue of SIGPLAN Notices offers advice to sub- mitters.

Submissions must be received by November 20, 1991. Authors will be
notified of acceptance or rejection by January 27, 1992. Full versions of
the accepted papers must be format- ted according to ACM conventions, and
camera-ready copy must be received by the program chair by April 3, 1992.
Authors of accepted papers must sign an ACM copyright release form.
Proceedings will be distributed at the conference and as a special issue
of SIGPLAN Notices. All papers published in the proceedings are eligible
for publication in refereed ACM journals at the discretion of the editor.
